RE: Nice speech Dennis but

Perhaps Tre, Dennis believes what he is saying. Jeff too. And their acolytes.

Fairly recent research is showing us that, despite what we may think, humans develop their beliefs by hearing/seeing something and tending to believe it; we then hold it up for critical/rational assessment only when sufficiently motivated to do so.

Our reasoning is then motivated by a need to validate our beliefs: "motivated reasoning". And the smarter the person, the more prone they are to doing that, because they can construct a more convincing narrative (for themselves).

The Dennis, Jeff, the MLP, their talk of mentors, and methods of communication are such an informative example of this. There is more, much more, but I will leave it there.

My point is: Dennis and Jeff may not be deceitful, but actually believe what they say. Or perhaps you are correct and they know how the process works and are establishing their doctrine so others will believe? I really don't know.
